ok, I moved a step further. 'X -configure' is now successful.
All I had to do is to move the graphics card to another pci
slot. Perhaps where xvr600 was, is not a standard pci slot
at all? pgx64 worked fine there in the text mode, but not
in the graphics mode.

So now I'm stopped with "Signal over range" message reported
by the monitor firmware (?).

The card seems to be detected, the scan frequencies I put
are from the manufacturer's specs, but still something is wrong.

I put conf and log files here:

http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/freebsd/xorg.conf.new
http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/freebsd/Xorg.0.log

I also get this on the console:

(++) Using config file: "./xorg.conf.new"
failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device
failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device
^Cfailed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device
failed to unset mtrr: Operation not supported by device
#

not sure if this matters..

Please advise

many thanks all your help and support
